** Description changed:

- [vfs: refcount issues during unmount on symlink]
+ The mountpoint_last function in fs/namei.c in the Linux kernel before
+ 3.15.8 does not properly maintain a certain reference count during
+ attempts to use the umount system call in conjunction with a symlink,
+ which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory
+ consumption or use-after-free) or possibly have unspecified other impact
+ via the umount program.
